I like the smiley face in the door.

Girls still buy white cars? I thought women were supposed to keep up with fashion.

*Applauds!*

do if it's yours why is it on photobucket as belonging to stuart j davis and titled 'My TTS'?

Nice car, but watch you don't mark the carpet with your heels.

Actually, my five is Neon Orange. But I have considered getting it resprayed in Cloud White to match!

wwaswas - you got me. Only joking guys, just thought I'd start a bit of "White Audi" humour as it's been mentioned so often quite recently on threads. 😉

So you haven't even got an Audi then? Go back to PinkBike foo'

people have been banned from trail centres for less than that 👿

You're not allowed to own a white Audi... I mean, FFS, you didn't spend the extra £50 to get your rims custom sprayed the same hideous colour as the frame now did you! That just reeks of not trying hard enough...

Oh, and the correct Audi for a 5 owner is not a TTRS, that's way too obviously car you'd have to buy yourself, no fleet manager in their right mind would allow that! No, you need a white A4 Avant 2 litre TDi with S-Line pack, or possibly, if you're really obnoxious, you might be able to bully him into letting you have a Q5, again with the same options...

😉

Orange five, drives an audi. Let me guess... you're a banker?

I have seen someone pull a road bike out of one those. It seemed to fit fine. The back seats are not for adults anyway. m

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

hehe.

Had to do Cheltenham to Newquay in the back of one of those 2 summers ago. A whole load of us going down for joint 30th's and it was the only space left short of driving myself!.

So in I squeezed... Fortunately I had the whole back seat to myself (still not spacious) as both the driver (6ft and about 20 stone) and his GF (6ft 2 and about 16 stone) needed their seats right back too! So I was pretty much in the foetus position, sideways, in the back of the car. Fortunately I'd nabbed a couple of pillows to support the arch of my back, and a jumper to rest my head against, and I wasn't too bad for the 3 hours journey. But I'd rather not have to do it again!

Reminds me of my old nova sr
That was white too.

Binners you made me 😀

Like this one mboy? You're bordering on obsessive.

Nice Audi Brycey -some people can't handle the fact that there are hard working people out there who can afford to treat themselves to nice cars and bikes 😉

Brycey that is a lovely motor, im still running my 06 A3 S-line, but I want an A4 avant soon!!!

Reminds me of my old nova sr

You sir, are the king of insults.

mboy seems to be on a one-man crusade to berate Audi drivers on the Internet (especially if they ride an Orange). They are decent cars, which makes them popular, which means a percentage are driven by idiots, which means in his book we are all idiots.

If mboy can just let me know what to replace it with so I stop being "obnoxious" I'll run along to the dealer...

Does mboy like black BMW 5 series touring - I have one and its great for transporting my new bikes! 😆

How do people afford these cars?!? I get there is credit, but the monthly repayments on top of an average fuel bill just sounds horrendous.

How much do you need to be earning for all this?

How do people afford these cars?!?

Route 1
Step 1) work hard and earn shed loads of cash
Step 2) buy car

Route 2
Step 1) work hard
Step 2) get a job that offers a company car

Route 3)
As 1 but move up north so you don't need a £200,000 mortgage to get a terraced house, one thing I've definitely noticed since moving to Teesside is the office car park has much less bangernomics going on and a lot more Audi's and BMW's despite a sometimes yawning pay gap so it must just be a higher disposable income after the mortgage has been paid.

I went for route 2, but my Avant is just a black SE, and I don't own an Orange.

Clearly I'm just a wannabe. 😉

For the record you can fit 2 mtb's in the back of the TT, the wife has one, wasn't very happy with me though!!

what cars mboy got?

what cars mboy got?

The TTRS is nice!

never mind the Audi, you have an Orange 5 and admit it? 😯

Have you noticed how you never see white dog poo anymore, but white cares are suddenly everywhere?

I see white dog poo all the time.

"Route 2

This one for me. Contrary to popular perception I don't spend my time rolling about in £100 notes in the Llandegla car park, it came with my job. I also pay BIK tax on it, and as a result picked one with a nice efficient engine. Apparently that's not allowed either.

Don't let them get to you Brycey, their just jealous that you have two Oranges

2 tone leather (orange and black) is not a good look,at least the Orange leather matches your bike.
Make sure they replace the missing centre cap in your back wheel as well.

I dont own the Audi, it was just a joke. 🙂

hahaha, you really do choose what bits you want to and what you don't. I really like Audi's on the whole, it's just these days they are the new BMW in that they're usually being driven by a rep at 95 in the fast lane, by someone who is late for an accident (or business meeting). In that respect they are the new BMW's... And FWIW, I've owned an A4 recently and I loved it, just had to sell it cos it was starting to cost too much to keep on the road. My Dad had one of the very first A5 coupe's (not the stupid saloon version) in the country, very nice car if a little lacking in steering feel.

Does mboy like black BMW 5 series touring - I have one and its great for transporting my new bikes!

Oh the irony... My favourite car I've ever owned was my old E34 540i touring, I bloody loved that car, sadly couldn't afford to run it when I got made redundant for the first time. Aside from the fact it had a 4 litre V8 and went like stink, with the rear seats folded flat, you could get a bike in without so much as removing a single wheel! It had full sports leather interior too, and was a rare 6 speed manual.

Bet he has a vauxhall.

Good god no man, I draw the line before that! I've got an old banger of an LPG fuelled Mondeo at the moment, I got it cos I'm V poor at the moment and it's V cheap to run. If/when I get a good job and a decent income again, it'll probably be a late model E46 330D Touring for me but that's not likely to happen any time soon.

To point out the irony of having a go at Audi/Orange owners. It's not that I dislike Audi's, far from it, but as someone who has owned and driven one in the time when they are VERY much the in car for reps right now (generally meaning like they get driven within an inch of their life all the time), just as BMW's used to be (when I also owned a BMW). I know people that would turn their nose up at you just cos you drive an Audi, and 5/6 years ago they'd have done the same if you drove a BMW. It's a stereotype that goes with the car.

The thing is, in owning an Audi (seen as being highly aspirational currently by onlookers) and an Orange 5 (it is THE aspirational Mountain Bike seemingly if internet forums, and Trail Centre carparks are anything to go by), it's the stereotype image you're conforming to that makes me chuckle. Audi's, for the mostpart, aren't driven by people who know much about them, or care much for cars beyond brand snobbery. BMW's used to be (and I suppose still are to some extent), very much the same. I am, or was, one of the world's biggest petrol heads and could sit and spend hours chatting about why I loved my old BMW, and what it was about it that excited me, whereas the average current BMW or Audi driver would probably only be able to tell you about the service quality at their local dealership, certainly not anything important about how it handles or goes. And to a large extent, Orange 5's seem to be quite similar. From what it seems like to many onlookers, they're often bought by people fairly new to the sport. They're not bad bikes at all, but they're often owned by people who bang on about them all the time as if they're the best thing since sliced bread, when in reality, there's plenty of other bikes that are as good, or better for the money.

It's a badge snob thing basically... If I felt an Orange was the best bike for me, I'd have one (if I could afford it), same as I felt my old Audi and BMW's were the best for me at the time.

Buy/drive/ride what you like, if you're so upset by someone taking the pee slightly out of a stereotypical image (that you conform to) on the internet, I suggest you need to work hard on your self image if it's that fragile! 😕

Blimey Mboy, u must have a lot of time on your hands to right that lot, i haven't got time to read it all though thankfully 🙂

Sorry i suggested you you drive a Vauxhall mboy, bit harsh of me.
